Horizon Europe is the world’s largest research and innovation program, with a budget of C$140 billion (2021-2027). The program is structured in three pillars, and Canada has recently become an associated country for Pillar II: “Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness”. Canadian companies can now participate in or create international consortia to apply for project calls in Horizon Europe and receive grants directly from the European Commission.
